“The funding volumes on Robo.cash grew fast due to the combination of factors,” said Sergey Sedov, chief executive of Robocash Group.
“Certainly, one of them was the increased volumes of our lending companies. Still, the most important thing was the growing loyalty of the current users and the influx of new investors.
“Our recent data based on a survey among the users of Robo.cash show that 90.4 per cent of them are generally satisfied with the platform, and 89.5 per cent would more likely recommend it to others. This year, we will work to increase the positive experience among the users by making improvements on the platform and creating more investment opportunities.”
